Remember when Republicans fought "communistic" central planning?
Now they’re applauding a president who tells Walmart how to set prices, Apple where to manufacture and Harvard who they can hire.
They've traded limited government for authoritarian micromanagement, freedom for fealty, and the invisible hand for Mar-A-Lago payoffs.

SAD!

the problem with this type of analysis is that MAGA\gop cannot cope with more than the simplest of concepts.
once past their 'trump is always right' identity, there is not much more of interest or capacity.

since this group is not going away, it will eventually have to be displaced with something equally simple (e.g., another manufactured celebrity) or they will have to be MORE engaged in dispersed non-political groups (e.g., country music, sports, conventional christianity...)

Well, those days are long gone...
They've traded limited government for authoritarian micromanagement, freedom for fealty, and the invisible hand for Mar-A-Lago payoffs.

Today: Trump says Coca~Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its drinks.
"I have been speaking to Coca~Cola about using REAL Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so.
I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca~Cola. This will be a very good move by them - You'll see. It's just better." ~Trump

There you have it, The Pyongyang Department of Central Planning has ordained the optimal ingredients Coca~Cola must use to make a beautiful Republic!

Also, I'm still waiting for the release of the Epstein files and Trump's tax returns as promised by Chinjidong himself.

I'm sure Trump will take full responsibility for the new New Coke when it flops. If this rumor is true, that is.

1. I’m sure the corn farmers of the Midwest who voted for him in overwhelming numbers are glad to hear that we’re going to abandon high fructose corn syrup. And

2. Does he realize that what he’s proposing already exists? It’s called “Mexican Coke”, because there are no tariffs on cane sugar in Mexico, so the price is lower than adulterating it with corn syrup. We could import even more of it than we do now (it’s available in most major supermarket chains around the country) by bringing it in by the shipload, transshipping Mexican Coke through the Gulf of America ;)
